Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the West Elk and Elk Mountains. New snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Thursday night and lasting through Saturday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time. Avoid traveling under steep avalanche paths, even at lower elevations below treeline. Avalanches will run far, from ridgetop to valley floors.
